| Quote: Bondi_Warrior "Its not that bad, but everywhere will be expensive when compared to prices in Wigan. If you pay $10 you would expect a pint. I think anyone who comes down will just have to get use to the fact that Sydney is expensive but you cant compare prices between a town in the north of England to a major world city in Australia. At least compare prices from London.
Darling harbor is perfect for meet ups. Decent bars and plenty of outdoor areas, and plenty of places to put up some flags ![]()
I wonder if I could take 4 twelve packs of bitter on the plane as hand luggage.

Details of packages are now up on the Wigan Club site.
The first package by Catalan Travel is from £1840.
The second is by Kiwi Travel price from £1200.
Reading it the Catalan Package seems to offer more in having organised trips included etc, whilst the Kiwi one seems to be just travel and hotel and the Fan would have to fend for themselves.
Anyone would have to read it themselves to make their mind up.

Ah, good taste!
What a dreadful thing!
Taste is the enemy of creativeness.

I'm sure you could join the supporters club and buy early. |

There will be tonnes left. I hate to say it but the WCC is hardly the biggest draw down here for Aussie fans. |

LOL, its a tough one, but I get the feeling on the day I will be in my Wigan shirt.
As you said it was fairly limited to where you could go, therefore it wasn't used enough. It was losing too much money as only tourists used it. It was pretty pointless to the rest of us. |

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

Blue Mountains is good, followed by a trip to either penrith or Parramatta leagues clubs for a meal (and nosey around)
Sydney harbour trip (we used Captain Cook tour) is fantastic.
Bondi is overrated but worth a look.
Manly beach is superb by ferry then get a cab up to their Leagues club
Lunch at Doyles on Watsons Bay (again by ferry) is a must.
Enjoy. |

Cheers Rogues, I'll struggle to take her out to rugby stuff besides the game but I'll check out the rest now  |

Also take the Ferry up to Parramatta (about 1 hour) Peter Wynnes Sports shop there is well worth a visit for RL memorabilia. If you're lucky you may bump into Brett Kenny in there.
You can buy a three or five day pass that lets you use the ferries, trains and buses all around Sydney. Well worth doing.

If you go north through manly you can take the missus to where they film home and away, it's a small beach but I can't think of the name of it and no it's not called summer bay. Doyle's is well worth a visit, awesome seafood. I would also recommend doing the bridge walk, see the blue mountains and visit a couple of vineyards if only for all the free samples. One word of warning, don't get caught speeding..... Especially if it's a bank holiday

There doesn't seem to be a non-attending membership available any more, as far as I can see.
Living in Sydney ,it's a bit too far to go to attend home games, so a season ticket would be something of an expensive way of doing things!
It would be cheaper to get a Rabbitohs membership, at least I could watch a few games then! |
